The Chennai-based Railways' Integral Coach Factory (ICF) has designed the train sets and will manufacture the first with 16 fully air-conditioned coaches by June 2018.

位于于金奈的印度铁路整车加工厂(ICF) 设计了该列车，并将在2018年6月完成首批16节全空调配置的车厢的制造。

Touted as Train 18, it will have 'world-class' passenger amenities such as on-board Wi-fi and infotainment, GPSbased passenger information system and plush interiors with diffused LED lighting.

被称为“一八列车”的列车将配备“世界级”的乘客设施，如内置WIFI、信息娱乐节目、立足于全球定位系统的乘客信息系统及使用LED扩散照明的豪华内饰等。

Another set of train, named Train 20, is likely to be launched in 2020. These will also be equipped with world class facilities to replace another elite train, Rajdhani Express, used in overnight travel. Both Train 18 and Train 20, 'Make in India' projects by ICF, will be manufactured for half the cost of imported train sets. The only difference will be that Train 20 will have an aluminium body while Train 18 will have stainless steel body.

另一款名为“二零列车”，可能将于2020年推出，也将配备世界级设施，取代另一款豪华列车Rajdhani列车。两款列车都由ICF生产，生产成本为进口火车的一半。区别在于，20列车为铝制车身，而18列车则为不锈钢材质的车身。

Indians lack basic sense of cleanliness and hygiene. Till this improves, any top class facility will turn into third class.

印度人缺乏基本的卫生意识，在这点改善之前，任何顶级设施都将变成三流产品。
